Definitions

  • This invention relates to a polishing pad for and a method of polishing a notch formed on the circumferential edge part of a semiconductor wafer or a semiconductor device wafer (hereinafter simply referred to as “wafer”).
  • Wafers are thin plates intended to serve as the base plate of a semiconductor element, produced by slicing and thereafter polishing an ingot of monocrystalline Si or GaP.
  • a U-shaped or V-shaped notch is usually provided on its edge.
  • a chamfering process is also carried out along the edge.
  • a film-forming and etching technology such as sputtering, CVD and etching is employed to form an insulating film, an electrode wiring film and a semiconductor film in a layered structure to produce a multi-layered wiring structure.
  • the disk-shaped polishing pad is made of a woven or non-woven cloth or a fiber material of a woven or non-woven cloth hardened by means of a synthetic resin.
  • a polishing pad is used to polish the notch of a wafer, its fibers become fluffy and this can cause many problems.
  • fluffy fibers may break off and generate dust particles which will float in the air, become deposited on the wafer surface and contaminate it; broken fibers may clog the liquid discharge system of the polishing device; the polishing pad will become deformed and will not be able to carry out the polishing work for a long time in a stable manner; and the notch of the wafer may be left with linear scratch marks in the direction of rotation of the polishing pad.
  • a polishing pad embodying this invention is disk-shaped and may be characterized not only as comprising a disk-shaped center pad of a synthetic resin material and holder plates secured to both surfaces of the center pad so as to expose circumferential portions of the center pad but also wherein the circumferential portion of the center pad is sectionally so shaped as to be fittingly insertable into the notch.
  • a foamed resin is preferably used as the synthetic resin material and a foamed material is used for the center pad.
  • the average diameter of air bubbles in this foamed material is in the range of 10 ⁇ m-500 ⁇ m.
  • the hardness of the foamed material is in the range of 25-95 degrees and more preferably in the range of 40-90 degrees in the Shore hardness A scale.
  • Foamed urethane may preferably be used as the foamed material.
  • a polishing pad embodying this invention as described above is rotated and a circumferential portion of its center pad is fittingly inserted into the notch and pressed against it. Slurry having abrading particles dispersed therein is supplied to a contact part between the circumferential portion of the center pad and the notch.
  • the wafer may further be tilted while the circumferential portion of the center pad is pressed into the notch to polish the upper surface, the edge surface and the lower surface of the notch.
  • the invention allows a notch on a wafer to be polished in a stable manner for a long time without generating dust particles and damaging the notch.
  • FIGS. 1A and 1B are respectively a side view and a front view of a polishing pad embodying this invention
  • FIGS. 1C and 1D are each a sectional view of its circumferential edge part when inserted fittingly into a notch of a wafer having a different sectional shape.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of a polishing device having a polishing pad of this invention mounted thereto.
  • FIG. 3A is an enlarged photograph of a portion of a polishing pad of Test Example
  • FIG. 3B is another enlarged photograph of a portion of a polishing pad of Comparison Example.
  • a polishing pad 10 is comprised of a disk-shaped center pad 11 of a synthetic resin material and holder plates 12 affixed to both surfaces of this center pad 11 such that the circumferential edge part of the center pad 11 is exposed.
  • the sectional shape of the circumferential edge part of the center pad 11 is determined so as to fit inside the notch of the wafer to be polished. In other words, if the notch 21 of the wafer 20 is V-shaped as shown in FIG. 1C, the circumferential edge part of the center pad 11 is also sectionally V-shaped, and if the notch 21 of the wafer 20 is U-shaped as shown in FIG. 1D, the circumferential edge part of the center pad 11 is also sectionally U-shaped.
  • the polishing pad 10 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B may be produced by using any prior art molding technology to form a synthetic resin material into the disk-shape of the center pad 11 and then affixing the disk-shaped holder plates 12 with a smaller diameter than the center pad 11 on both surfaces of the center pad 11 .
  • the center pad 11 may be molded such that its circumferential edge portion will have a desired sectional shape such as shown in FIG. 1C or 1 D.
  • a paring means such as a knife may be used after the center pad 11 has been molded to reform its circumferential edge portion into the desired sectional shape.
  • Known kinds of synthetic resin such as urethanes and polyesters may be used for the purpose of this invention.
  • Foamed resin materials may appropriately be used as the synthetic resin material for this invention.
  • the center pad 11 may comprise foamed urethane having independent or continuous air bubbles in its interior.
  • the average diameter of such air bubbles may be in the range of 10 ⁇ m-500 ⁇ m such that the abrading particles dispersed in the slurry may be efficiently held therein.
  • the hardness of the foamed material is preferably in the range of 25-95 degrees in the Shore hardness A scale and more preferably in the range of 40-90 degrees.
  • the center pad 11 If the hardness of the center pad 11 is less than 25 degrees, the center pad 11 tends to become deformed during a polishing process and incapable of polishing the notch 21 of the wafer 20 uniformly. If the hardness of the center pad 11 is greater than 95 degrees, excessively large pressure by relatively large ones of the abrading particles in the slurry exerted onto the notch 21 cannot be absorbed and hence the notch 21 may become damaged.
  • the wafer 20 is secured first on an affixing table 13 , as shown in FIG. 2.
  • An air-suction means (not shown) of a known kind may be used to keep the wafer 20 horizontally on the surface of the table 13 such that the notch 21 is on the side of the polishing pad 10 .
  • the polishing pad 10 thus arranged so as to be rotatable in a vertical plane is rotated in the direction of arrow r 1 or r 2 .
  • the polishing pad 10 is connected to a driving means (not shown) of a known kind such as a motor and can be rotated by activating this driving means.
  • a transporting means (not shown) of a known kind such as a ball screw or an air cylinder is used to move the polishing pad 10 or the table 13 so as to be fittingly inserted and press the circumferential edge portion of the center pad 11 of the polishing pad 10 into the notch 21 and slurry having abrading particles dispersed therein is supplied through a nozzle 14 to the contacting part between the circumferential edge portion of the center pad 11 and the notch 21 such that the notch 21 of the wafer 20 is polished.
  • a transporting means (not shown) of a known kind such as a ball screw or an air cylinder is used to move the polishing pad 10 or the table 13 so as to be fittingly inserted and press the circumferential edge portion of the center pad 11 of the polishing pad 10 into the notch 21 and slurry having abrading particles dispersed therein is supplied through a nozzle 14 to the contacting part between the circumferential edge portion of the center pad 11 and the notch 21 such that the notch 21 of the wafer
  • the wafer 20 may be tilted into sloped positions as indicated by double-headed arrow R for polishing the upper surface, the edge surface and the lower surface of the notch 21 .
  • the slurry Water or an aqueous solution obtained by mixing a dispersant such as glycols and alcohols to water, having abrading particles dispersed therein, is used as the slurry.
  • the abrading particles may be particles of one or more kinds such as silica, ceria and alumina, having an average diameter of 20 nm-200 nm.
  • a reaction liquid adapted to react chemically with the sags formed at the notch containing a substance appropriately selected from potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide, fluoric acid, fluorides, iron nitrate, potassium iodate, glycine, quinaldinic acid, hydrogen peroxide and benzotriazol, may also be added to the slurry.
  • a substance appropriately selected from potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide, fluoric acid, fluorides, iron nitrate, potassium iodate, glycine, quinaldinic acid, hydrogen peroxide and benzotriazol may also be added to the slurry.
  • Edge surfaces of a V-shaped notch formed on the circumferential edge portion of a silicon wafer were polished according to this invention.
  • the shape of the notch was that of an equilateral triangle with apex angle of 90° and height 2 mm.
  • polyether urethane elastomer product name Hyprene L-198 manufactured by Mitsui Kagaku Kabushiki Kaisha
  • 3,3′-dichloro-4,4′-diamino-diphenylmethane with pure water (1 weight %) added and maintained at 60° C. were mixed at weight ratio of 100:19.
  • FIG. 3A is an enlarged photograph of a portion of the polishing pad of Test Example thus produced.
  • Polishing of a notched edge surface was carried out four times by varying the speed of rotation of the polishing pad under the conditions shown in Table 1. After each polishing process, the conditions of the polishing pad and the polished notched edge surface were observed. Each polishing process was carried out by rotating the polishing bad in a vertical plane, securing a wafer on a horizontal plane, moving the wafer thus secured towards the polishing pad, fittingly inserting and pressing the circumferential portion of the center pad of the polishing pad into the notch and supplying slurry with abrading particles dispersed therein to the contact part between the circumferential portion of the center pad and the notch.
